Chapter 948 The Evaporated Rodman
9 Chapter Fifty: Rodman Evaporated
The Knicks are like the Blazers' destined nemesis.

Although very powerful reinforcements were made, the Blazers embarked on a difficult road of trial and error in order to adapt to external targets after being exposed.

Pat Riley is not afraid of losing, he is afraid of not being able to solve the problem.

On the contrary, if it can solve the problem, losing is acceptable to them.

With the Knicks opening up their wins by 2 games, and with the Knicks in a state where they will hardly lose after entering April, it is simply a luxury to catch up with them at the end of the season.

They lost to the Heat by 6 points.

That night, a reporter asked Riley: "Are you worried about the lack of home court advantage in the playoffs?"

Riley said confidently: "We are still No. [-] in the West."

"What about the finals?" The reporter explained, "There is a view that if there is no home court advantage in the finals last season, maybe the Knicks will lose the finals."

Hearing this, Riley looked at the origin of the reporter and found that it was a reporter from the Oregon area.

This is equivalent to caring for one's own family.

"Thank you for your concern." Riley's failure-filled years in Los Angeles made him a habit of getting the media right.

In Los Angeles, even the coaches are big stars, so when talking to the media, you have to pay attention to your attitude and tone, and not reveal too much.

But on this issue, he had nothing to hide.

"But this problem can be looked at from another angle. I think the competitiveness of the West is far higher than that of the East. There are many teams competing for the championship in the West. Therefore, for us, as long as we have home court advantage in the West, it is enough. As for the Finals, we are ready."

"If it's Miami, we're going to win it. If it's New York, if we get to Game [-] again and New Yorkers think their home-court advantage is going to work again, my guys are going to wake them up with brutal reality." Riley was as excited as if his words had come true. "Personally, I am very eager to see this scene, to get up from where I fell. This is what a man should do."

Riley's words inspired the team and angered the opponent at the same time.

Especially tonight, they just lost to the Heat, and then said in front of reporters that they are sure to beat them in the finals?

Heat coach Billy Donovan has been with Lou for several years, and he has learned a lot from Coach Lou.

In addition to the advanced game concept, there is also the style of tit for tat.

"Coach Riley is generally right to say that, but it should be said by coaches who have had a lot of success."

Donovan said angrily.

"If Coach Lu said that, I wouldn't disagree. But Coach Riley? I'm not disrespectful to him. Coach Riley has been in the professional basketball circle for many years and is well-known. However, he rarely wins. He is the head coach who has lost the most finals in history."

Donovan is still too young.

Louis has long stopped talking in front of the media.

How vulgar, is talking fun?

uh-huh?

In fact, it's not that Louis didn't pay attention to Riley, but was just distracted by other things.

Since April, Rodman has missed consecutive training sessions.

For a week, he neither came to training nor participated in the competition. His agent could not contact him, and he disappeared from the world.

Finally a tabloid called West of Manhattan told Louie what Rodman was up to: "Knicks star Dennis Rodman in trouble with Madonna relationship!"

The news in the tabloids is generally a rumor.

But the tabloid revealed a lot of inside information that others did not know.

Louie knew the inside story was true.

Those who have these inside information are basically leaking secrets by order.

This is a common routine in the entertainment industry. If someone wants to break up, they will use the power of the media to make things worse. No matter what the result is, give them a vaccination first.

If the two parties broke up unhappy, they may also expose each other's scandals.

Although Madonna had had enough of Rodman, she planned to get together and leave, so the tabloids only said that she and Rodman had irreconcilable differences, but they didn't say what the differences were, nor did they say that Rodman was a scumbag among people who ignored his work for women, and ignored the feelings of his teammates and coaches.

Louie was furious.

In order to maintain stability, he gave Rodman privileges.

Rodman is the only one on the team who can skip training sessions from time to time.

Every time he misses training, Louie will only scold him publicly, and then pay a symbolic fine (and finally return it in full in the form of bonus), so that at least on the surface, his teammates can accept it.

In order to become the Rodman in his heart, Rodman changed his hairstyle every night, and became one of the most watched couples in the United States together with Madonna.

They're the best bad boy/bad girl pairing ever.

Even with Madonna, Rodman has a "you're welcome" attitude toward the flesh and blood trying to achieve the "sex with Rodman" achievement.

"Now that Madonna is going to break up with him, isn't it a fucking good thing for him?" Louis asked.

Before Louie stood Wilson.

While Wilson and Rodman had a good relationship, the two didn't see much of each other in their lives.

Rodman is the kind of person who doesn't take the initiative to contact his teammates to have fun together.

He is immersed in his own world, and has access restrictions-you have to be crazy like him to join his world.

Although Wilson had the best relationship with him in the team, after leaving the team, their social relations and contact circles were very different.

It can be said that although these two belong to the same class, they do not belong to the same world.

"Coach, I don't know what's wrong with Dennis." Wilson's eyes rolled around, "But I can call him...if he is willing to answer..."

Louie interrupted Wilson: "If he answers your call, tell him, don't come back, I don't want to see him again in my fucking life! He'd better disappear forever, and I will trade him when the season is over. I hope he can have a good time in Utah!"

Wilson believed that Louie's anger was not feigned.

He also believed that Louie's determination to trade Rodman was real.

But he knows.Louis is now in a state where he can't think calmly about the problem.Rodman has gone too far in this matter, and has far exceeded his bottom line.

When he calms down, he may change his mind.

Although Rodman is a jerk, his strength is beyond doubt. As one of the best defensive players in the league, the Knicks' iron-blooded defense cannot do without his help.

When will Rodman return?
This problem has plagued Louis for half a month.

In the end, he said to reporters with a icy look: "He will not come back."

"What happened?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yihan said, "He just won't come back, we will look forward, no matter who is missing, the Knicks are still the Knicks."

This year the season is long.

NBC significantly increased the broadcast of the game.

In order to obtain more live broadcast opportunities, the league lengthened the regular season schedule without changing the number of games.

The regular season ends at the end of April.

Now, there is still a week until the end of the regular season.

Rodman has been missing for more than half a month.

His breakup with Madonna went from rumor to reality.

Just today, April 4, Madonna announced that she is single again.

She was so decisive, as if she had forgotten that she had chosen to stand on her head after intercourse in order to conceive Rodman's child to increase the chance of winning the lottery.

Now, those things are empty.

Those things between her and Rodman will become the talk of people after dinner, but that's all.

"Since Madonna has announced, Dennis should be back soon, right?"

Tomjanovich has always been good at which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

"I now know why you were beaten up by Kermit back then, you couldn't find the right time to enter the arena." Louis complained angrily.

Louis didn't talk about martial arts and directly opened the deepest wound on Tomjanovich's body. He was so angry that he cursed: "You bastard knows what a fart!"

"If I want to break up a fight, I will definitely not run from behind the perpetrator. I will run to the middle of the incident in their sight and separate them. This is the correct way to break up a fight. If you run directly behind someone like you, who knows whether you are here to break up a fight or to punch black fists?"

"Enough!" said Tomjanovich, standing up. "I've heard enough of your nonsense!"

Louis said: "Let Yuan Zheng come to my office."

"No time, I still need to lead the training!" Tomjanovich lost his temper.

Louis didn't expect that he still had someone who couldn't control him in the Blue Palace.

The more I think about it, the more wrong I become.

"Rudy, you can either call the expedition to my office, or stay and chat with me until the evening, you don't need to bring the training, Lao Mo and Tom (Thibodeau) will help you."

Talking to Louie all night?
Today's opening remarks have already talked about how wrong his method of escaping the siege was, and if we continue to talk, we will dig deeper into how he deserved his brains blown out by a punch, right?
Tomjanovich didn't want to look at the events of the year from a different perspective after many years.

"I'm going to call him now!"
